Cincinnati Reds pitcher Tejay Antone has been through Tommy John surgery and recovery three separate times in his career. Bouncing back from the surgery one time is difficult enough. Bouncing back two times is incredible. But coming back from it a third time should be impossible. But Antone never wavered, and after 754 days, he was back in the big leagues with the Reds. Following Emilio Pagán's leg injury this week, the Reds elevated Antone to the big leagues again. On Wednesday night, Antone took the ball in the bottom of the eighth inning of a game the Reds were trailing by two runs. He tossed a perfect inning with two strikeouts, both on his patented breaking pitches. The Reds would go on to lose the game in extra innings, but the story of the night still revolved around Antone.
